The College of Architecture and Design's American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) Chapter invites you to join us for the South Quad regional conference, Maker Squad, on Apr. 4-7.

More than 300 students, representing 50 schools across 11 states and territories, will be in attendance to learn more about being a “maker” in one of the best-known Maker Cities. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet peers in architecture from across the region while attending workshops and meeting local makers around Knoxville.

All makers, whether engineering, art, architecture or others, are invited to participate in the conference. 

Want to learn more?
